💊 Tylenol (Acetaminophen) is one of the most widely used analgesics and antipyretics — and while you won’t use it much in EMS, you’ll definitely see it on drug cards and patient med lists.
In this video, we’ll cover:
– Brand vs. generic (Tylenol = Acetaminophen)

– Indications: mild pain, fever
– Routes and common dosing
– Risks: hepatotoxicity in overdose
